Question

solve for b: 4 1/3b+b=6b–10.4

Answer 1

Answer:

-7 8/10  =  b

Step-by-step explanation:

Rewrite 4 1/3b as (11/3)b, and rewrite 10.4 as 104/10.  Then we have:

(11/3)b + b = 6b - 104/10.

This simplifies to b( (11/3) + 1 - 6) = 104/10, or

                             b(11/3 - 15/3) = 104/10, or

                             b( -4/3 ) = 104/10

Multiplying both sides by -3/4 isolates b, as desired:

                                                     -3(104)

                             (-3/4)(-4/3)b = -------------

                                                        4(10)

Then b = -312/40, or -156/20, or -78/10, or -7 8/10  =  b

Answer 2

The value of b from the expression given will be b= -7 8/10 .

What is a system of equations?

A system of equations is two or more equations that can be solved to get a unique solution. the power of the equation must be in one degree.

We have been given an expression as;

4 1/3b + b = 6b–10.4

Rewrite 4 1/3b as (11/3)b, and rewrite 10.4 as 104/10, Then we have:

(11/3)b + b = 6b - 104/10.

This simplifies as;

b( (11/3) + 1 - 6) = 104/10, or

b(11/3 - 15/3) = 104/10, or

b( -4/3 ) = 104/10

Multiplying both sides by -3/4 isolates b, as desired:

-3(104)

(-3/4)(-4/3)b = -4(10)

Then b = -312/40,

or -156/20,

or -78/10,

or -7 8/10  =  b

Therefore the value of b from the expression given will be b= -7 8/10 .
